Each year on Christmas Eve, Italian American families gather to celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes - a grand marathon of a meal comprised of multiple courses of seafood served over several hours. It is a celebration of food, with strange sea creatures such as baccalà (salt cod), capitone (eel) and scungilli (sea snail) making their annual appearance at the dining table. It is a celebration of tradition, with recipes and cooking methods handed down from one generation to the next. But most importantly, it is a celebration of love and being together with family. It is a cherished event for many Italian Americans, full of the warmth and joy that comes from being surrounded by family on Christmas Eve, while dining on a bounty of delectable fish dishes which - like Santa Claus - comes just once a year.This book describes the rich history of the Feast of the Seven Fishes and provides 30 detailed recipes for preparing the Feast, along with illustrations and full color pictures. A book for anyone who loves seafood, cooking, and holiday celebrations.

On a célébré en 2000 le quatrième centenaire de la publication du Théâtre d'Agriculture et Mesnage des Champs, d'Olivier de Serres. A elle seule, elle suffit à faire la renommée de l'auteur à la fin du siècle des Lumières. Après une période d'oubli, le livre inspira les Physiocrates et l'agronomie débutante. L'édition de 1804 eut un énorme succès qui ne s'est plus jamais démenti et son auteur devint le porte-drapeau de l'agronomie moderne. Le présent livre est une introduction à l'¿uvre d'Olivier de Serres et une réflexion méthodologique.
